Was Jeff at Pollo's a mag?
Got the bacon cheeseburger and made it a double. It was perfectly cooked; both the burger and bacon. My partner got a steak burger with fries it is huge for the price. I suggest adding cheese to it. Very large portion of fresh very hot fries. I’m the picture I added that is only half the fries. I had the rest with my burger. Can’t wait to try other food here View all feedback.

What lee park dislikes about Pollo's:
i got my food to go. my chips were so stale, like unbelievably stale. idk how they found such stale chips to give me. i got a beef burrito, and it was cold inside. like not just the sour cream and guac, the rice, the tortilla, the meat. the whole inside was cold and cheese wasnt even melted fully. idk what the vibes are here and how some people get great meals and some don't. wouldnt go back here again if im just goi...

The. Best. Breakfast. Burritos. In. Town. I do not exaggerate and worry about telling the world. Pollo’s makes a simple and tasty breakfast burrito with soft potatoes, distributed melted cheese goodness, and perfectly fluffy eggs. And the price is unbeatable.

This is another gem a moms and pops small restaurant that's BiGG on flavors. I had a brief conversation with the owner and he's said he's been here for over 36 years and trust the food speaks volumes. It's a nice pleasant experience. Definitely coming back..... two up

I love this humble diner! Food is tasty, atmosphere is quirky and cozy, prices are competitive. Service is great, the owner is funny. Great place for people watching. Conveniently closer to bart for a quick morning bite or lunch grab. My old favorite place to study.

I love Pollo's ! It is one of the few places that I travel across town for. I have been eating here for years and love the owner and the good food and conversation. The Gyros are yummy and I like to bring a few home to surprise my growing (now grown) son's (now with one off to college..Son) I highly recommend this long time Berkeley treasure.

Pollo’s is a small diner place near the BART station in Berkeley. It serves Burritos, Burger, Sandwiches, Breakfast and Gyros. It is a great choice for a small restaurant. I found it disappointing that they were not a credit card, but that's not too big a deal. Anyway, I was here twice. The first time I got the gyro plate, and I thought it was quite delicious, with a good amount of meat over rice. It comes with a salad on the side, hummus, and some sauce that complements the gyro well. It is also quite complete. Next time I came, I decided to get the breakfast Burrito. That was a little disappointing. The cashier asks if you want sour cream, cheese and black beans, but he doesn't tell you that they cost extra. Luckily I asked. Unfortunately, these are important ingredients in a burrito that should be included anyway. Cheese for a dollar! What a demolition I think. I still got cheese and sour cream with my breakfast Burrito that had beef in it. What it didn't have is egg, or rather every breakfast in there. They either made my order wrong, or they have a terrible idea of what a breakfast burrito should have. The Burrito himself was decently big and pretty good, but not what I wanted. Anyway, I was a little disappointed with the second time.
